Winning without taking a step won't work if you are knocked back, so keep the opponent at bay with items and the sword beam, or use the Purple Potion to deal damage.

You can win several challenges in one go by fulfilling several goals at once. Use the Purple Potion at the start of a battle against a low heart Shadow Link to get achievements for winning in under 10 seconds, without taking a step, or damage - all at the same time!

The Tornado Rod will always stun Shadow Link, making him an easy target, even on high bounties.

Any consumable items automatically replenish at the end of a battle, so don't worry about wasting a potion. You can also use the Golden Bee you can buy in Lorule for 888 Rupees, use it against a Shadow Link, and still give it to the Bee Guy afterwards.

To win with Ravio's Bracelet, you'll need to fight in one of two StreetPass Arenas: The Desert Arena (Face a Shadow Link in the Desert) or the Lava Arena (Face a Shadow Link in front of Turtle Rock or the Ice Ruins). Create a wall with the Sand Rod, or use the Ice Rod on the pillars of fire an merge with the wall. You'll only have to merge once before winning to complete the challenge.

To finish off a Shadow Link with either a Bee or a Golden Bee, you must make sure that your opponent does not have the Bee Badge. Only bronze, lower tier Shadow Links will not have the Bee Badge. The Bee is a very easy attack to stop since it is so easy to kill. The best tatic is to stun your opponent with the Boomarang or Tornado Rod and then unleash the Bee. Keep in mind that the Golden Bee only does 3/4 Heart damage.

Once a player has completed all 50 challenges, they will be urged to visit Gramps. After reviewing your challenges, Gramps will note that only one other person has been able to obtain such a feat, and invites you to fight a Shadow Link of that person.

Be warned, as this fight will be tough. The enemy will be fully decked out in maximum hearts, tunic, sword damage and nice items. The items will be random, and often work in his favor depending on the level. Defeat or deal more damage than the opponent to win.

Once you've defeated your opponent, you'll receive a 5 rupee bounty (listen to his reasoning for why the bounty is so low!) You can then challenge this new opponent to a match at any time, in a random place with random high tier items.

There are rumors and clues that lead to the identity of Gramps. While he may be nothing more than an elderly fellow in Kakakirko Village, there are several noticeable clue that may point to the more heroic identity - an identity that may be the actual Grandfather of A Link Between Worlds' Link. Does this make Gramps the same Link from A Link to the Past?

In the credits sequence of A Link Between Worlds, the video pans over several characters from the series while playing relevant music, but curiously plays a triumphant rendition of the main theme of The Legend of Zelda when panning over Gramps and the StreetPass area.

After all 50 challenges have been completed, Gramps remarks that only one person has ever been able to complete such a task and offers for you to challenge the Shadow Link of that person. The person in question is none other than Gramps himself. Armed with the Master Sword, the Hylian Shield, a full set of hearts and the best items money can buy, it seems Gramps is no ordinary fellow. Considering his age, the time that the game takes place after Link to the Past, it is possible that Gramps may just be the same Link from the previous game, if not a descendant.
